As we all know “ The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.” and “ 26 every successful man there is a woman.” Both these 27 mean the same things. Men rule the 28__ , but their wives rule them.
Chinese people and other foreigners often say, 29_ of the American women like making their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want 30__ for themselves. They want good 31 . When they work they want to 32__ better paid. They want to be as 33__ as men.
In the 1960s, the American women’s liberation 34 was started by women who don’t want to 35 behind successful men. They want to stand beside them, with the same 36__ for success. They don’t want to be told that certain jobs or 37__ are closed to them. They refused to work side by side with men who do the 38 work for higher pay.
In America, a liberation woman must be 39 of being a woman and have confidence in herself. If somebody says to her, “ You have come a long 40 , baby”, she will 41 and answer, “Not nearly as 42 as I am going to go, baby.”
On the other hand , this movement is quite 43 and many American women do not agree. 44__ it has already made some important 45__ in women’s lives.

A friend of mine met with an accident driving in the darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t 36 .What was worse was that he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone didn’t 37 . Nothing could be done but 38 in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the 39 of the rescue.
It is almost 40 that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his 41 , “First of all I checked up on my physical 42 and found myself not in fatal(致命的) danger. Finding no 43 to call for help, I leaned back to try my best to keep the wound from 44 . In this way I fell asleep.
This 45 me of another story: A group of young men 46 to explore a mountain cave and got lost. 47 to find a way out in the dark cave they were 48 and ran anxiously without a sense of 49 . Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the 50 people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the 51 of the cave. If they stayed where they got lost and tried to 52 themselves, they would probably 53 a small light glimmering(闪烁) not far away.
We can compare it with our 54 itself. Sometimes when we meet with difficulties in life, we feel lost in the darkness. If it is unclear, you needn’t put up a struggle 55 . Remember: CALM DOWN!

We are going on a long train journey. Out of the windows, we can see cars running on nearby highways, children waving at a crossing, cattle grazing（吃草） on a distant hillside, smoke pouring from factories, village houses and city skylines.
But 36 in our minds is the final destination（目的地）. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will 37 into the station. Bands will be playing and flags 38 . Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will 39 and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a(n) 40 jigsaw（拼图） puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles（过道）, damning（诅咒） the minutes for waiting, waiting for the station.
“When we reach the 41 , that will be it!” We cry “When I am 18.” “When I 42 a new 450SL Mercedes Benz!” “When I put the 43 kid through college.” “When I have 44 off the debts!” “When I get a promotion（提升）.” “When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live 45 ever after!”
46 , we come to realize that there is no such station as we arrive at once and for all. The 47 joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It 48 leaves us behind.
“Cherish（珍视） the moment” is a good 49 . It is the burdens（负担） of today that drive us to keep on 50 . And it is the regrets over yesterday that motivate（激发） us to overcome the 51 and look forward to the future.
So 52 pacing the aisles and counting the miles. 53 , climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot（赤脚） more 54 , swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived 55 we go along. The

I devote myself to music because of my grandmother. My mom and I lived with grandparents from the time I was two until I was eight. And even then, I was at their house before and after school every day while my mother was at work.
Grandma loved music. It was her that first _31 me to Elvis Presley as a very young child, and once I heard his music, I was truly in 32 with it. Most five-year-olds ask for 33 for birthdays, but I wanted Elvis’albums. I would play them non-stop and 34 to the music in my grandma’s family room though my movements didn’t look good.
Grandma played the piano and 35 me to sing “America the Beautiful” and “Somewhere over the Rainbow”. I 36 started playing music on the piano, and soon Grandma was paying for me to take piano lessons from a lady living in the 37 . I would come home from __38 and walk three houses down for my lesson. I _39 took about nine months of lessons, but it was enough to give me a(n) 40 and allow me to continue to teach myself.
Last month when I came home to visit Grandma in the hospital, I brought along my guitar with me. She was in a lot of pain, but the music seemed to _41 her soul. She had me sing some songs and when I started to sing “Somewhere over the Rainbow”, her weakened voice 42 in with mine for a few lines. That experience was one of the most 43 of my lifetime and one I will certainly cherish forever. I told her of my music career and she was very _44 and said, “That’s wonderful!” I _45 to play for her throughout the week I was home.
My grandma passed away two days ago. In my opinion, part of her will live on through every song I write or sing in my life.
